Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method of displaying augmented reality information associated with a user-specific object using mobile device in an augmented reality system, the method comprising: acquiring user-specific identification information from the user-specific object; sending the user-specific identification information via a network to a server; retrieving user-specific specific information from the server using the mobile device; and displaying the user-specific specific information in conjunction with the user-specific object when viewing the user-specific object through the display of the mobile device using augmented reality, wherein a user virtually views information associated with the user-specific object using augmented reality graphical representations.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein user-specific information includes messages to the user, available credits, promotional points available to the user, or combinations thereof.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user-specific information is displayed using one or more icons presented in association with user-specific object when viewed through the display of the mobile device.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein acquiring user-specific identification information from the user-specific object using optical character recognition of information visible on the user-specific object.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising enabling the user to interact with the user-specific information in conjunction with the user-specific object when viewing the user-specific object through the display of the mobile device using augmented reality.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user-specific information is promotional or voucher information.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein promotional or voucher information includes a complementary drink icon, movie ticket icon, restaurant voucher icon, or combinations thereof.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the promotional or voucher information is displayed using one or more icons presented in association with user-specific object when viewed through the display of the mobile device.
9. The method of claim 6 , wherein acquiring user-specific identification information from the user-specific object using optical character recognition of information visible on the user-specific object.
10. The method of claim 6 , further comprising enabling the user to interact with the promotional or voucher information in conjunction with the user-specific object when viewing the user-specific object through the display of the mobile device using augmented reality.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user-specific information is bonus game information.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein bonus game information includes a virtual bonus game, virtual promotional game, virtual base game, or combinations thereof.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the bonus game information is displayed using one or more icons presented in association with user-specific object when viewed through the display of the mobile device.
14. The method of claim 11 , wherein acquiring user-specific identification information from the user-specific object using optical character recognition of information visible on the user-specific object.
15. The method of claim 11 , further comprising enabling the user to interact with the promotional or voucher information in conjunction with the user-specific object when viewing the user-specific object through the display of the mobile device using augmented reality.
16. A method of displaying user-specific augmented reality features at a user's mobile device in association with a user-specific physical instrument, the method comprising: providing for acquisition of the user-specific identification information from the user-specific physical instrument; enabling the user-specific identification information to be sent to a server; retrieving user-specific augmented reality features from the server using the user-specific identification information; and enabling a display at the mobile device to present the user-specific augmented reality features in conjunction with the user-specific physical instrument when viewing the user-specific physical instrument at the display of the mobile device, wherein the user-specific physical instrument is a user-specific object.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the user-specific augmented reality features include user-specific available credit.
18. A system for displaying user-specific augmented reality features at a user's mobile device in association with a user-specific physical instrument, the system comprising: a server storing data representing user-specific augmented reality features; and a software application to (i) configure the user's mobile device for acquiring the user-specific identification information when viewing a live image of the user-specific physical instrument using a mobile device camera and mobile device display and (ii) transmit the acquired user-specific identification information to the server; the server arranged to (i) access the user-specific augmented reality features using the user-specific identification information and (ii) provide user-specific augmented reality features to the user's mobile device, wherein the user-specific augmented reality features include user-specific available credit, the software application configuring the mobile device to display the user-specific augmented reality features in conjunction with the user-specific physical instrument when viewing the user-specific physical instrument on the display of the mobile device.
19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the user-specific physical instrument is a user-specific object.
